Default Torque specs leaf springs

I'm replacing the front leaf spring mount for the rear leaf springs I was wondering if anybody knows the torque specs for the bolts that bolt the bracket to the frame and for the bolt that bolts the leaf spring to the bracket they're nylon threaded nuts so I can't do no backing of and retightening

Torque spec? I get them down with my impact tight so the bracket won't come loose. But If I had to guess I'd say more then 100ft/lbs for the leaf spring to bracket bolt.

New member, and this is the closest thread I could find on this....basically I am installing W2W running boards and need to put the last bracket near the rear wheels connecting to the leaf spring bracket to frame. My question is, what should that nut be torqued to after I install the bracket?

This is a pre-'97 forum.

But this TSB describes frame bolts in general:

These describe '80-96 1/2-ton rear suspensions, including torque specs:
